Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: CaSO_4 + AlBr_3 ⟶ Al_2(SO_4)_3 + CaBr_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 CaSO_4 + c_2 AlBr_3 ⟶ c_3 Al_2(SO_4)_3 + c_4 CaBr_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Ca, O, S, Al and Br: Ca: | c_1 = c_4 O: | 4 c_1 = 12 c_3 S: | c_1 = 3 c_3 Al: | c_2 = 2 c_3 Br: | 3 c_2 = 2 c_4 Since the coefficients are relative quantities and underdetermined, choose a coefficient to set arbitrarily. To keep the coefficients small, the arbitrary value is ordinarily one. For instance, set c_3 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 3 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 3 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 3 CaSO_4 + 2 AlBr_3 ⟶ Al_2(SO_4)_3 + 3 CaBr_2
